Old Plastic Heels to Orange Leather with Black Edges! Shoe Makeover

Welcome back to the workbench! In today's video, we are taking a worn-out pair of black plastic patent platform wedges and completely transforming them into a sleek pair of custom orange leather sandals featuring crisp black finished edges. If you love watching damaged footwear get stripped down and rebuilt into luxury-quality shoes, this cobbler makeover is for you! In this full custom footwear restoration, we completely strip away the old plastic skin and clean the wedge platform bases down to bare material. Next, we cut and bevel rich orange grain leather for the upper straps and footbeds. To give the sandals a sharp, modern designer look, we paint and burnish deep black edge coat along the sides before lasting the uppers and cementing clean, cushioned insoles. Upcycling cheap, damaged plastic heels into durable genuine leather footwear is the ultimate way to reduce fashion waste and create unique custom style. Whether you are an aspiring shoemaker, a thrift flipper, or just love relaxing visual ASMR leatherworking, this orange and black transformation delivers every step of the way.
